Choose Your Words Carefully
The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug."

The titled responsion is "Choose Your Words Carefully". What follows is complicated; hopefully, some simplicity will emerge.

Here's what I am thinking about, and because the entire Figures of Speech section really is a sandbox for an F.F.A. expression (Free For All or Free Forme Association - take your pick), I am going to highlight two important words in responsion to Twain's quote. The language we use, otherwise known as Logos, is unique to humans. I am referring to language as we use it. I am not saying that other mammals or eusocial creatures don't transfer knowledge. For example, ants use a pheromone to communicate information and elephants use a low rumbling frequency to do the same. What I am saying, only to repeat myself in echo and persistence, is that words not only define us but what if they confine us? That's an interesting proposition. What do you think?
